Very helpful video series. I was looking for a video on Pomegranate trees. I would really appreciate a video on how to possibly prune, fertilize etc...Thanks so much.
I know I’m late finding you... I enjoy how you explain what you do & how to accomplish that. However, it was really hard to watch this due to camera focus & fast movement 😔. I’ll check out the rest of your videos tho😍.
Hi guys really love your video serie on Backyard Orchard Demo and always waithing on the next one. But I have a question I saw that some of your video are in HD and I would like to know why those on the Backyard Orchard are not in HD??
This series of videos is really helpful. They have really cleared up some of my pruning questions and kept me from being paralyzed by being overly cautious. Question: Do you have any videos that track the progress of a particular tree from the time its put into the ground to the time it bears its first harvest of fruit?
I'd like to see some pruning on the "older" trees.. Do you take out the saw and cut the tree way back to keep the small size trees? Eventually, I'm assuming that the main limbs are going to be very thick.
That depends on how tall you want your tree. Pick a height, and top it back every summer. I like to check height at the same time i"m thinning fruit in spring, and then again after harvest.
A question - when keeping the tree at the same height by removing one-year-old wood, how do you handle the fact that you will be left with old wood only which will not produce any fruit? Or do you still keep a bit of the last-year's growth for fruiting, thus letting the tree get a little bit bigger each year?
@@DaveWilsonTrees Say I've got a branch that I take back to a length of one foot. Next season, I'm going to have a bunch of side branches growing from it. When I take those out too after fruiting, so that they don't crowd the inside of the tree, aren't the buds from which they grew going to be spent? Or will new branches grow next season from the same spots where the ones I took out grew?
I am considering planting peach, pear and figs trees in the spring. Just want to clarify, I don't need to buy dwarf trees, I can control the height by pruning as you do?
Need pruning advice 6b coastal Ma. I pruned everything June 21. Goal is to keep trees manageable at 3-4’ high. I also followed advice of Dave Wilson Tree videos , keeping center free. Now, I have all this new growth that does not appear to have any clusters where fruit would grow next year. I want to remove new growth. What is the timing of this? Should I wait till fall?
Colleen Connor you can prune now. Then again when dormant. To keep trees that short you will need to prune two or three times during the summer. Just after fruit set when you’re thinning, then again after you harvest. Then, depending on harvest date, you may want to top again in late summer.
probably 30 years old or more its been prunned to stay about 8 feet tall we have a apple tree and another plum that produce very well. but they are not watered there just in our back yard
